How to receive an EDI supplier shipment with the RF Inbound Receiving feature

With the Inbound Receiving feature, you scan newly-received items from EDI suppliers and enter the received quantities on your RF unit. Then, in Paladin Point of Sale, you can quickly reconcile the physically-received quantities with the corresponding EDI invoice quantities. This feature can be used for single-stores and multi-stores.

Other advantages to the InboundReceiving feature:

It makes EDI receiving efficient and accurate.

It identifies discrepancies between the EDI supplier invoice amounts and the number of items that you physically received, so you can investigate the difference. Discrepancies on high-priced items can have a significant financial impact.

Before you reconcile, you can make changes to the received quantities.
